    Not to worry I'm sure there's a pill you can get for this condition.

    2nd goal was Janssons fault - Huddlestone looped the ball up but he miss-judged the header and at 6ft 5 he should win ALL of those!!

    It came from a corner given away by Felix because he didn’t shout. The ball looped well behind Pontus he was backing to try to get to it. Maybe he should have, but if you play enough balls in like that you’ll get lucky, they got the chance because the goalie had earlier failed to collect an easy ball and let Cooper head it behind for a corner.

    It only looped behind him because he started strolling out in front of the rest of the defenders - even then, if he had jumped before the ball went over his head he would have got it

    As it happens I've been reading everyones take on what is going wrong this season, after the initial good start. I know you think cheap foreign ****e players, personally I think some weren't bought for this year, others like De Bock (unless we've sold him and bought De Brock) will be better once adapted to English football.
    So for me by far the biggest miss is Green. It's plain to see the defence (with good reason) do not trust Felix, have you seen Pontus, Cooper and Forshaw screaming at him to come and claim the ball. (and a simple one at that). Once that happens it makes the whole defence jittery and almost desperate to keep the ball away from him so dragging defenders out of position to stop the ball going near the goal.
    Don't know what to think of Green. Did he just jump for the money? Was he annoyed that he was going to be the number two? Is he not good as a judge of a goalkeeper because if he was Felix in training he must have known it would only be a few games before he put back in as no. 1 (ffs even Lonegran got a go - and may get another).
    Anyway, ready to be shot down in flames but I think we have / could cope with the loss of CT & Wood but the keepers have undermined everything. Your thoughts, welcome

    Can’t argue. But would suggest that our defensive midfielders {all 128 of them} are every bit as weak a link as Felix.

    You've been doing it for years.<ok> maybe you shouldn't try to give it out as you obviously can't take it back.<wah>

    Green did the right thing for him and his family. Totally undermined by the club, the last half of last season green was one of our best players. I would have done the same thing. As I said earlier on in the season how many players do you sign from the bundesliga for £500.000 answer none unless they're ****ing useless. It was blatantly obvious from the first few appearances from felix that he was ****e. All the people saying he didn't let a goal in for the first 6/7 games that's because the ball never got anywhere near him, now every time the ball goes in our box it's inevitably a goal. I never thought we'd sign a worse keeper than silvestri but weildwald ****e beyond belief.

    You could be right, but we're no weaker in the midfield than we were last season when we finished 7th. Where we have changed most is loss of Bartley, Taylor, Wood and Green. I'm only suggesting Green has hurt us more. Yes he had the odd rick in him, but he organised the defence so much better. I know he had his detractors on here though.

    We really should be trying to sign Dicko from hull if they get relegated he's a menace.
